How to find the path for a custom deployment folder in the SMC

ChrisNZ — Thu, 10 Mar 2022 06:39:19 GMT

One can define a new deployment folder like so

One can then see the newly created destination in the resource management list, but the path is not displayed anywhere.

How can see the paths for these custom deployment folders in the resource management list?

Bonus question: How to see where these path definitions are used?

Thanks for your help!

The default deployment directory for the DATA Step Batch Server is called "Batch Jobs" and points to <SASConfig>/Levn/<context>/SASEnvironment/SASJobs/Code.

You can view these and create new ones by right-clicking on the Schedule Manager plugin and selecting "Deployment Directories".

I have some code here that:
shows what directories are defined: https://github.com/greg-wootton/sas-programs/blob/main/Scheduling/get_deployment_directories.sas
creates new deployment directories in bulk: https://github.com/greg-wootton/sas-programs/blob/main/Scheduling/create_deploy_dirs.sas
gets a bunch of information about jobs and flows, including where a job is deployed: https://github.com/greg-wootton/sas-programs/blob/main/Scheduling/get_job_and_flow.sas

I'm always impressed by how well structured your files are Allan!

I'd prefer not to have to run a program each time I want a piece of information, but I'll keep this in mind.

Thank you @gwootton
